aww yeah it's question meme time

Time to bring back one of my old faves...

the QUESTION meme





Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:

1. POST a top-level with your character name

2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character

3. ANSWER the question you were asked

4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!

We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!

QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.

Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

How does Clark as a reporter feel about tabloids? Necessary evil, the worst thing that ever did happen to anyone, "eh"? Does that contrast to how he feels about them in regards to Supes?

suddenly tl;dr

As Clark he thinks they definitely a necessary evil, or at least… one of those things that will always exist. He doesn’t like the influence they have on people, and how much so-called reporters will twist the truth to get some news out of it, or to make the news more interesting to get readers… but he understands they serve a purpose, just like the Sports and the Style section (hah). He doesn’t like them, but he doesn’t loathe them.

As Superman… he gets the closest he gets to loathing them, to be honest. Tabloids in his world are HUGE on getting rumors on him, people close to him, etc. He had to endure articles on how Lois Lane had ‘settled’ for Clark Kent because she couldn’t get Superman when she married him, and he’s good at putting the other cheek but that kind of stung a little. There’s articles on how his powers might work, on how so and so have recently talked to him and they are totally sure he’s going to snap any minute now, how he eats diamonds for breakfast (?????)… the list is long.

AND he dislikes the tabloids even more in his canon point because of the role they played on how Earth saw the Kryptonians. If it weren’t for them and how they treated Kara, her family and the rest of Kryptonians- how they basically made Earth dislike them… maybe his uncle Zor would still be alive, maybe they wouldn’t have to move New Kypton, maybe he wouldn’t have had to move to it and pretend to leave Earth behind etc etc. tl;dr he really hates how tabloids don’t care or don’t think about the long time consequences their articles might have.

yes good

Superman is like the epitome of dude you don't want to piss off. It just seems a really bad idea to hound on the MAN OF STEEL with your name attached because what if the dark AU happens and you're the main the tabloid writer against him why would anyone put themselves in that position. Don't think about the long time consequences, I guess. New to comics canon, maybe.

DIAMONDS FOR BREAKFAST wow Tiffany & co. needs to start running new ads.

Well that all sounds absolutely awful. Can't wait to see what else crops up between him and Freddie surely it'll be roses and daisies and sunshine and everything good in this world. Surely.

Well you have to keep in mind he’s been around for decades so everyone knows with a 100% certainty that even if you do manage to piss Superman off he isn’t going to take it on you. When he first made himself known Luthor made sure every single piece of news about him put him in a negative light because fuck aliens in general and fuck superman in particular that’s why. So basically every newspaper and tabloid BUT the Daily Planet was talking shit about him and he DIDN’T MOVE A FINGER TO STOP IT he just went on his merry day saving people and being nice and eventually everyone was like ‘lol naw he’s a cool dude’. And that’s not even the last time that happened.

I mean when Lex was president (why is it always Lex) he made him public enemy number one! He made everyone believe he was going crazy because of a kryptonite meteorite and stuff. And he just tried to stop whatever Lex’s plan was he didn’t even try to make himself look better. SO BASICALLY: everyone knows they can shit on Superman 24/7 and he will just purse his lips and keep on going because that’s who he is so yeah they aren’t worried.

And Freddie actually will remind him a bit of his friend Cat Grant, who’s the epitome of tabloid writer and writes things against his family very often. But he’s still friends with Cat so he might as well still be friends with Freddie. He’ll just look the other way every time the tabloid is brought up >>




AND AFTER THE TL;DR: What’s Will’s dream job? :|a

the best way to prove that the press is lying about someone being a complete and utter douchebag is to not be a complete and utter douchebag and keep on keepin' on A+ Clark

Good thing Cat doesn't have to worry about being rude to the Super family

HAHA he actually gets into a sort of argument about quitting his job and it ends up with Jack telling him if he quits and goes back to his classroom and murder happens he could've stopped, his classroom will be sullied FOREVER. And Will's just like "Maybe. Then maybe I find a job as a diesel mechanic in a boatyard." Dream job = anything but law enforcement. And also away from the people. Anything to do with fishing/boats where he has little to no dealings with people that he doesn't want, pretty much right up his alley. Though after all the shit that happens in canon I'm pretty sure his dream job is "retirement with the fattest pension EVER" and playing on boats and stuff because he wants to, gosh.

SUPERMAN WEARS HIS UNDIES OUTSIDE HIS CLOTHES but has ever thought about a different costume? He's been around forever I'm sure there's jokes and stuff about it but has he ever tried something different/would he? If he switched to anything different, what would it be? He's been around for so long that changing what people know might be a risky move/bad move but if he could and get away with it...what's the design you'd think would fit best/he'd go for?

Omg Will that's kind of adorable but you go living the dream, but wow Jack that's kind of a lot of weight to put on someone's shoulders just like that...

Clark's tried a lot of costumes over the years! There's the black costume he wore when he returned from being 'dead', the blue superman one when he had electric powers (ALSO AVALIABLE IN RED because comics are ridiculous), the commander El uniform (personal favorite!)... there's been a couple others but those are the ones that differ the most from his usual ones.

If he were to pick an uniform he'd choose something like what he wears in the beyond universe, probably, which is similar to the one he wore when he was back from the dead. Not too flashy and elegant but still Superman-y.



Someone Will wishes were here, and someone he wants gone?

I LOVE HIS MULLET THING also way to show off your junk bro we get it you're super that El one actually looks like it's pretty useful, IT HAS POUCHES AND THINGS never know when you'll need a breath mint.

Hahahahaha...oh my God. All the people he'd pick to come in would probably be pissed off at how he's handled things if not under the impression that he's done bad shit back home, but out of everyone I'd have to go with Jack Crawford. Because even though he might whip his ass back to law enforcement (that's the fear) he'd also provide some nice extra stability and Will's never had romantic overtures towards him A+. As for gone, it's either Gideon or Abigail so going with Gideon for that one because hahahahaha Abigail is around he is going to be a selfish jerk and hold onto her forever, thanks.

What about Clark! Is there someone he wishes was here and someone that he's not too pleased with being here? The DC crew is pretty vast and from all over, anyone he's run into yet that he's like "wait what no go home"?

[personal profile] andaway 2014-10-19 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
THE MULLET WAS COOL BACK THEN OK- no it wasn't but did that stop Clark nope.

I laughed at 'no romantic overtures' being A Thing To Consider Will what even what kind of life do you live. The fact that he wants to keep Abigail around is cute in a... selfish kind of way if that even makes sense.

He wishes Lois were here, of course! That one is a no-brainer. She'd deal with being teleported here like a pro and he'd help him get started with getting an actual journalism work in this place. Plus in his canon point he's spent months without her already because he had to go live in another planet (comicssss) so he'd take any excuse to see her again. She'd... probably smack him for bringing her here though and be like seriously Smallville? Seriously? But then she'd get to work and all would be well :V

As for the opposite, not really! He hasn't seen any of the villains around and they are more Bruce's villains anyway. But he would like if Alfred went home not because he doesn't want to see him here, but because he deserves better than to being dragged into this the man has gone through enough.


What are some powers Will wishes he'd have gotten?
